Welcome to Farmer's Market Week with the Gang from Festive Foodies.......

A group of us will be sharing some recipes to help you enjoy all the bounty found at your local Farmer's Market at this time of year.  This event is being hosted by Ellen of Family Around the Table 
as part of our Festive Foodies lineup.

There is nothing that I love more than visiting Farmer's Markets.  I love meeting the people and listening to them tell of their passion for their crops.  I love knowing where my food is grown and supporting the small, local farmer.  I love when they sell the items that they have made from their crops and livestock.  I love the people who visit the farmer's markets, walking around with their recyclable bags and huge smiles on their faces.  There is always a friendly nod and usually an eager conversation about what they are making with their treasured finds.

Today, I am sharing a recipe that I found in Cuisine at Home.  I love that this bi-monthly publication shares seasonal recipe ideas.  I have been subscribing to this magazine for nearly 20 years now.  Love it!!  And, no, this is not a sponsored post.

What first caught my eye with this version of potato salad was the dressing that combined mayo, sour cream and buttermilk with lots of fresh herbs.

Potato Salad is a staple at nearly every summer get together and I have made numerous versions through the years.  I have mixed potatoes with bacon and blue cheese, and I have added green beans to the potatoes.  I have served them warm, O'Brien Style and I have recycled leftovers into potato salad.  And, of course, I have shared my Mom's classic potato salad.

I also loved the addition of peas into this potato salad.  It adds a pop of color and natural sweetness to the salad that is unusual.  I don't know why I never thought before to add peas.  They are a common addition to my pasta salads.

Let's see what the others are sharing for this first day of Farmer's Market Week.  We are going to be posting each day to help you navigate your way around your next trip to the Farmer's Market.
